Winners, losers and a PM on the brink - what to expect in next week's elections
The UK is set to hold elections next week, with the Prime Minister Keir Starmer facing potential challenges from within his own party, while Reform is expected to make significant gains in local councils. The Greens are also hoping to add seats, potentially at the expense of Labour in London.
The UK's upcoming elections are expected to be crucial for several parties. Keir Starmer's Labour Party is facing internal challenges, with some MPs potentially rebelling against him. Starmer's allies have issued a defiant statement, saying he will 'accept no deals, no pacts, no timetables, and will get on with being PM.' Reform, led by Nigel Farage, has been leading in UK-wide polls for over a year and is expected to win at least 1,000 council seats in England. The Greens, led by Zack Polanski, are hoping to add seats, potentially at Labour's expense in London. The election results could have significant implications for the UK's political landscape, potentially establishing Reform as the main opposition party to Labour.
